<p>I've always had a weird fascination with the Adam and Eve story, both when I was a Christian and even now that I'm not. It's just interesting to me how people let this story affect their worldview.</p>

<p>At least the Mormons were good enough to baptize their murder victims into their church:</p>

<p>I especially like the area north of Santa Fe, Taos and Ranchos de Taos. My Ex ran into a cow on Eagle's Nest.</p>

<p>To bring that story to a more personal level, one of our former TA members, Blaine Leavitt, best known for his folksy, "There ya go!" comment, and who left us close to a year ago, finding a better way to spend his time, had a relative, <a href="http://1857massacre.com/MMM/dudley_leavitt.htm" target="_blank">Dudley Leavitt</a>, a Mormon who actually participated in the Mountain Meadows Massacre.</p>

<p>I remember learning about Persephone and Demeter and their situation with Hades in the underworld. It made quite an impression on me. I was young enough to think it may have been true. In the Spring, Persephone returned! It was so soulful. I still think of Persephone when I see the crocuses coming up in the Spring.</p>

<p>Without imagination we would be truly boring beings. Unfortunately the early instigators of supernatural thought saw it fit to blur the lines of reality and fairy tales. We are suffering the consequences to this day.</p>
<p>Greek or Norse it matters not, mythology is hugely entertaining. But Bilbo Baggins is more my speed today.</p>

<p>Norse myths were fun to read ... it seemed like the first superhero comic book in history.<br/><br/>The ibrahemic religions mythology is unique of it's own ... i remember that someone drew the book of Genesis as a comic book keeping the original script as a narration to the story .. it was fun to read .. but still not as fun as the Greeks.</p>
